FYI Porsche 996 Caliper dimensions are 150mm (5 7/8") wide at the widest point and 240mm (9 1/2) in overall length.
Took quite a bit of googling to find that...hopefully its accurate and helps anybody else looking for the info.

I don't have anything against 4 pot but was just wondering. so these are 996 front calipers? would the zcp rotors fit inside these calipers?

They are 996 calipers kori. I think right now they'll fit a 32mm rotor and with a bit of filling I've read of people putting 35mm rotors in there.

Hmm... Taking brakes off of a rear-engined car and attempting for "fit" them on a front-engined car. Please post videos of track testing!
